VIDEO: Tadgh 'Tad' Furlong reveals Lions teammates' struggles with his name
By Ian Cameron
Ireland and Leinster tighthead Tadgh Furlong has revealed the struggles his British and Irish Lions teammates are having getting to grips with his name.
He's not the first Irish man to run into trouble with his name on a Lions tour. During the last trip to New Zealand in 2005, Donncha O'Callaghan - pronounced 'Don-ak-ah' - was frequently referred to in various media outlets as 'Donn-Chaa' O'Callaghan, much to the amusement and in some cases irritation of Irish rugby fans.
TV3 reporter Sinéad Kissane got a brilliant response when she asked what exactly the squad members had been calling him.
Meanwhile assistant coach Andy Farrell has spoken of the intensity levels in training, the likes of which he has not witnessed before.
